An open microphone during a BBC Radio Ulster news bulletin has resulted in private comments from presenter Nuala McKeever being aired.

Whilst Damien Edgar read the news about the latest coronavirus death toll at 3pm on Monday, Nuala can clearly be heard talking about Dominic Cummings, saying “I was thinking he was such a di**. I had written his name as Richard Cummings. Freudian slip or what?”

The audio has since been removed from BBC Sounds and the BBC has issued an apology, blaming a technical error.

The BBC said in a statement: “The comments were not intended for broadcast and should not have been. This interruption to our news bulletin was the result of a technical error. We very much regret what happened and the upset caused.”

The BBC has apologised for a technical error which put a production studio live on-air over the top of You and Yours at BBC Radio 4 on Wednesday afternoon.

An unannounced reporter can be heard on the microphone commenting about the temperature of the studio, offering the F word before voicing a report.

The presenter on-air at the time, Winifred Robinson, continued without acknowledging the interruption.

Winifred later said sorry for the swearing due to the “cross lines at the start of the programme”.

The incident has now been removed from the programme on BBC Sounds, but you can hear the audio below from Radio Moments.

Can two studios “have network” at the same time? I know this isn’t possible on NBH 8th floor. So did the SM of Y&Y have an off-air studio faded up by mistake? And wasn’t listening to output? For two minutes? https://t.co/4KhA07yeUQ

You know we like to do things with a bit of a twist.. here is that twist,” Nihal Arthanayake says before playing a rap about Brexit complete with swear words on 5 Live.

The rap is from a drill music artist from London who has been gaining popularity for his unique political songs, with quotes from MPs.

Drillminister says his track called Brexit highlights double standards, and how language can be considered offensive depending upon who’s using it.

Nihal played the track on BBC Radio 5 Live on Wednesday afternoon, but faded it out and said sorry for the offensive language. He added how lyrically incredible the track is.

Radio X breakfast presenter Chris Moyles has revealed he once turned down a chance to be in the Radio Academy Hall of Fame.

Speaking on his show today, he revealed he never actually became part of the list because he didn’t want to attend the event ceremony, which previously took place at the Savoy Hotel in London on an annual basis.

“Ben (Cooper) rang me,” Chris said. “They want to induct you into the Radio Hall of Fame”. But Chris could only be part of the list if he agreed to attend the event, to which Chris replied “No I’m alright, I’m not fussed.”

“It wasn’t me being Jonny Big Bananas.. then I met Trevor Dann (Radio Academy Chair at the time) who said it was a big mistake to turn it down.”

Chris then jokingly carried on talking about where the actual Hall of Fame is located, and how the only other person to turn it down was Terry Wogan. Sir Terry later appeared on the list a couple of years later in 2009.

He said “I only get to be in it if I attend the event, otherwise I’m not in,” then highlighted that there are people inducted who are dead, who never went to the ceremony.

The Radio Academy Hall of Fame has over 100 members and recognises the immense contribution celebrated Broadcasters & Presenters have made and continue to make to our sector over the years.

Two minutes of dead air followed the live failure of the York Minster organ on BBC Radio 3 this week.

The station was broadcasting live from the Cathedral for its Choral Evensong on Wednesday when the organ, and singing, faded out.

After almost two minutes, an announcer apologised for the technical problem and went to pre-recorded music previously recorded on the same organ.

It happened around 45 minutes into the hour-long programme, which never returned to the OB due to problems in York.

A spokesperson for Radio 3 told RadioToday: “During BBC Radio 3’s live recording of Choral Evensong from York Minster on Wednesday, a malfunction of the organ caused it to cease to sound during the anthem (Philip Moore’s “The Spacious Firmament”).

“Due to this failure of the Minster’s principal musical instrument, it wasn’t possible to continue with the broadcast. The remainder of the service was later recorded for broadcast this Sunday (1500-1600 BBC Radio 3) and will also be available on iPlayer in full.”

The Radiofail website has captured the fail, and we’ve embedded it for you below.
